This pattern is easily adjustable for both height and width. To adjust for height, knit the body pattern to your desired length, excluding about 2” (5 cm) for the final border and bind off. To adjust for width, add or subtract stitches in a multiple of 4 for the body.
If using hand-dyed yarn, please make sure to purchase sufficient yardage from the same dye lot.
The yarn is held triple throughout this pattern, so you don’t need to alternate skeins every few rows. Just make sure you’ve blended your skeins as much as possible to ensure an even distribution of color.
A table for the color transitions is on page 6.
